Magic Valley Disposal Hydro EZ Pack.
Рет қаралды 27,192
Күн бұрынSo here is my footage of the EZ Pack from Magic Valley Disposal. Sitting on a late 60's International Harvester Loadstar Chassis, this truck trundles along like the good old soldier it is. The trip was well worth the time, money, and effort it took to get there. Twin Falls, ID is a really nice place. Not a lot to do there, but enjoy a time capsule of old vehicles and nice sunsets.
This truck, running on a V8 gas motor had a radiator replaced the night before it went on route, yet here it is running like a champ.
1:25 Watch a deer spine and rib cage come out of a trash can
21:21 You'll get to see the arm mechanism and lifting a trash bin

This has to be the most primitive way of trash disposal I've seen. Very entertaining.

Neat video! This truck makes rainbow’s MSLs look start of the art. And makes modern day carry can manual collection look like a breeze. It’s amazing how far things have come.

Oh yeah, you aren't kidding there. When I was watching these guys work I really couldn't believe what I was seeing. It amazed me that there was ever a time where men had to climb that high to toss trash into a truck. I do realize that there are points in time that made even this truck look state of the art. Horse drawn carriage trailer days for example.

Ah fond memories. I live in the UK, and in those days they had 3 or 4 men to a cart, all gone now. All we have now is 'plastic' trucks and fussy bin-men who won't even empty your bin if it's overfull.

+Christopher Lovelock Back in the day, trash men had to work HARD. These guys have a no-joke hard day at work. :-O I've seen some videos of the trucks in the UK and you are right "plastic" trucks is a great way to describe them.

Cool to see a garbage truck from the 1960's still used on a regular basis. This truck may need a little tlc, but it will outlast most of the newer current trucks. Like they say, they don't make them like they used to!

It's funny when people talk about saving the environment, but people don't realize that we are not saving the environment by buying things that last 5 years, or have a short life span. If things were built to last a lifetime, there would be less pollution.

It's not only vintage garbage trucks I like, but vintage appliances/electronics as well, especially vintage Maytag washers and dryers.

Was this an old school bus converted into a garbage truck??
@shadofax96 8 жыл бұрын
+wesbann Nope, this is how the did it in the 60's. Just some old skool working almost every day, being cobbled together to get back out to work. The entier radiator was replaced the day before this video was taken.

Time capsule really with The Doors from car radio except modern trash from plasma TV box. Magic Trash Valley people should be ashamed of forcing men do drudge in 21st century.

I really was a fascinating thing to watch. I could barely believe what I was looking at when we saw these things on route. The people operating these trucks have been doing so for over 30 years. I agree, it's a rather sad thing to watch such old men doing such tough work, but then again, perhaps it's these trucks that keep these men going and functional as men.

It almost would of seemed faster to take each piece out of the dumpster and into the truck then play with the lift

There is certainly some truth in that. I couldn't believe how difficult it was to dump that bin.

I have a garbage trucks is not very new - age 4-5 years. Hydraulics on them is not very flowing. Because my garbage trucks were used components from Italy. When did the garbage from their Russian components-hydraulics quality was poor.
